If it’s in maintenance mode, it should come out when its restarted

I don’t know about backing it up from the CLI unfortunately

Subject: [cisco-voip] Old expressway

Gents,
I know this is a long shot but I'll ask anyway.
I have a customer who is running an old pair of Expressway C/E they are having an issue with the expressway-e you can't web browse to it and video calls are not working, I suspect it thinks it's in maintenance mode for some reason which no one is owning up too. As its old and the config hasn't changed they don't have or can't locate a backup......
Is there someway to back it up via the cli, I'm guessing not and my only way out is to build it from scratch which is probably the quickest way out of this.

Its version X8.7 and it hasn't been upgraded as "it just seemed to work"........until it doesn't

I'll take a stab at saying even if it is rebuilt the licensing will be the next issue and then they will be forced into upgrading it.

I don’t think there is a way. I just checked Xcommand reference and nothing about backups. Well, I searched for “backup” in the document and last one was before the reference section. This is for 8.11

Just running "xConfig" should give you the whole backup minus the
certificates.
